Conversations with Mom – Epicurial Edition

Jim:  I’m going to make a chocolate trifle

Mom:  That’s not like that torque you made before, is it?

Jim:  That what?

Mom:  You know, that chocolate torque you made a while back.

Jim:  You mean the chocolate TORTE?

Mom:  Same thing.

Jim:  Espcially if your lug nuts are loose.

Slacker – Party of One

So I’ve been away for a bit – y’know, LIFE and crap.

My sister from upstate NY is coming for a visit – she arrives to night.  Our plans for her visit:

• Go to Portland with The Boy and his peeps as well as my friends John and Micheal.  Via choo-choo, of course.
• Go to Leavenworth and have lunch with Our Miss Joyce (who gets to meet Mom!)
• Go hang out at the market in Seattle
• General debauchery, chicanery and other various sundry items.

Yay!

PS – Curtis – there will be hooch-a-plenty in Portland.  Woot!

Conversations with Mom – Family Therapy Edition

Mom:  You know that Mark and Brandi have those twins, right?

Jim:  Right……

Mom:  Well, they don’t take turns watching the kids!  They should sleep in shifts until the babies are old enough to sleep through the night!

Jim:  Yes, they should.

Mom:  That family is so defunctional.

Jim:  So…what?

Mom:  Defunctional.

Jim:  So they don’t work?

Mom:  No, Mark doesn’t have a job.

Horrible People

As far as I know, this is the only internet soap opera out there.  And BOY, it it out there.  (NSFW)

Conversations With Mom – Security Edition

Mom:  While you were gone today, 4 young people came by the condo. They said they were missionaries.

Jim:  Really?

Mom:  Yeah.  I thought Missionaries were in Africa.

Jim:  They were probably Mormons.

Mom:  I didn’t let them in. It might have been a coy to get inside.

Jim:  Probably.  Very demure of you not to let them in.

Mom:  Well you never know, right?

Well There’s a Surprise

Get My Hat, Alfred

I’ve always loved Hitchcock’s films – if not for the dark, simmering tones then definitely for the air of “something’s not quite right here” atmosphere that seems to follow all of them.

 Vanity Fair did a great homage photo spread to Hitchcock using some A-list actors.  The results are rather interesting.

Happy VD 2008!
